A smile makeover is a custom-built combination of treatments designed around your specific goals. Some smile concerns can't be solved with a single service. The color is off, the shape isn't right, a few teeth are chipped, and there might be a gap that's bothered you for years. Dr. Matthew Collins maps out every step before any work begins, so you can see what your final smile is designed to look like and what it will take to get there.
A smile makeover combines several treatments chosen for your specific concerns rather than following a set menu. Here are the services Dr. Collins layers together most often.
Brighten your natural tooth shade by several levels before any other cosmetic work begins.
Custom shells that change the shape, size, color, and overall design of your most visible teeth.
Affordable composite shaping for chips, gaps, and small repairs that don't need a full veneer.
Subtle reshaping of slightly uneven, pointy, or longer-than-ideal teeth to balance your smile.
For teeth that are damaged or weakened, a crown restores both function and appearance.
If a tooth is missing entirely, a dental implant fills the gap permanently before cosmetic work continues.
Most makeovers combine 2 to 4 of these services into a single coordinated plan. Dr. Collins recommends only what's needed to get you the result you actually want.
Every smile makeover follows the same five-stage path, no matter how many services your plan includes. The total timeline runs from a few weeks to several months depending on the complexity of your case.
You sit down with Dr. Collins and we listen. What bothers you, what you want changed, what photos make you cringe and which ones you love.
Photos, digital scans, and a 3D preview of your future smile so you can approve the look before any work begins. Adjustments are easy at this stage.
We finalize the exact services your makeover will include, the order they'll happen in, the timeline, and a clear written cost estimate.
The actual work happens in a coordinated sequence. Whitening first if it's part of the plan, then prep, then placement of veneers, crowns, or bonding.
Final placement, final polish, and the moment you see your new smile in the mirror. Most patients leave grinning the whole way out.
No two makeovers are identical, but most fall into recognizable patterns. The goals below are typical of what patients tell us at our Springfield office, and each one shows how Dr. Collins would build a plan around it.
Teeth look stained and tired, and one front tooth has a small chip.
Front teeth are worn and the color is off. The patient wants polished, not overdone.
Several issues at once: a missing tooth, old fillings showing, and crooked teeth.
The biggest mistake in cosmetic dentistry is treating one tooth at a time without a plan for the whole smile.
A whitening visit here, a veneer there, a crown later. Each piece looks fine on its own, but together they don't match.
A smile makeover flips that approach. Dr. Collins designs the final smile first, then works backward to figure out the exact sequence and service mix that will get you there. Whitening happens before veneers because veneers don't whiten. Crowns are matched to the planned veneer shade. Every decision is made in service of the final result, not the immediate fix.
The result is a smile that looks coherent, balanced, and naturally yours. Visit our cosmetic dentistry hub to learn more about each service in your makeover plan.
Two Rivers Dental Group designs smile makeovers for patients from Springfield and the surrounding Lane County communities. Our office at 1717 Centennial Blvd, Suite #3 is open Tuesday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Call 541-287-7874 to schedule your design consultation.
It depends entirely on which services your plan includes. A whitening-and-bonding refresh costs far less than a plan with veneers, crowns, or an implant. You get a clear written estimate during the treatment plan stage, before any work begins, and payment plans are available.
Anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on complexity. A simple refresh with whitening and bonding can wrap up quickly, while a full reset that includes an implant follows the implant's healing timeline. Your plan lays out the exact sequence.
Veneers are one treatment. A smile makeover is a coordinated plan that may include veneers alongside whitening, bonding, contouring, crowns, or implants, all sequenced so the final result matches. Some makeovers don't include veneers at all.
